History and profile

Jordan Media City was established in 2001.[1] It is a private company founded as a result of an agreement between the government of the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan and Dallah Production Company. It was set up with a capital of ten million JDs (15 million US Dollars).[2] It now transmits over 247 channels and retransmitts 57 radio broadcasts. Most channels are not Jordanian based, and the government still possess restrictions on Jordanian based channels which makes it hard to open new Jordanian TV channels.[3][4]

Jordan Media City is centrally located next to Jordan Radio and Television Station. It is a short distance from Queen Alia International Airport, and just a few minutes away from Jordan's main highway which connects the country's northern borders with its only port in Aqaba in the south.[2]

gollark: OR ARE THEY?
gollark: Yes, it's popular.
gollark: Node's method of async with tons of callbacks was awful. Promises are okay, but async requiring sprinkling of magic syntax bits everywhere is beelike.
gollark: Just because JS happened to be picked for clients. though. And now with WASM tons of stuff can do that.
gollark: And it just has such weird inconsistency. Also bad async handling.
